http://www.archlinux.org/packages/commu … nel/files/ is one way to do it.
If you know the name of the file you're looking for, you can use pkgfile https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/FA … is_X_in.3F

No, this info is not stored in sync databases, it's stored in the package, so you have to install it.

Thanks a lot!.

Not sure what you mean https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … did=171354

[karol@black ~]$ pkgfile alsamixer
extra/alsa-utils

It can find here.

Sorry for my poor English.

If you do not install the alsa-utils, you cannot use the cmd 'pkgfile alsamixer' to find which package the alsamixer in.

Sometime, I know the cmd, but I do not know the package, then pkgfile cannot help me find the pacakge I should install.

It's not true, pkgfile uses the data from files database provided by the repositories (many unofficial repositories do not provide it) so it will find the right package even if you don't have the package installed.

Re: {solved}Can see the file list of a tool that is not installed? ??

No, that's exactly the purpose of pkgfile and that's what it does. It sounds like you neglected to update the file lists before trying to use pkgfile.

I use nosr, but it serves exactly the same purpose and behaves rather similarly:

# nosr -u
$ pacman -Q networkmanager
error: package 'networkmanager' was not found
$ nosr nm-online
extra/networkmanager 0.9.2.0-1  /usr/bin/nm-online

Both pkgfile and nosr have '-l' switch that works the same way as 'pacman -Ql' but for every package from the repos, not only those you have installed.

Re: {solved}Can see the file list of a tool that is not installed? ??

......We got the wrong way...
pkgfile and nosr is to find what the package the cmd is.

pkgfile alsamixer ---- the cmd
extra/alsa-utils --- the package

The question I ask is :
???? alsa-utils ( alsa-utils  is not installed)

/usr/bin/aslamixer
......
.......

what is the ???? cmd
